I once met Marauder Shields in a bar...poor guy was in a horrible state. Right after Shepard died with the Normandy SR1. He thought he'd never get his chance again.

FYI Marauder Shields/Health is being honored, remembered and praised in the Endings thread.
He is on his way to becoming a mascot of the movement....the one who tried to save us from the endings. For everyone that holds the line, he is an example to us all. He held the line in the face of failure. He did it with courage. Do it for him....hold the line!

I find his character to be incredibly fascinating.
At first he seems like a generic Turian husk, similar to the ones we've been mowing down the entire game. Sure he gets a lucky shot at Shepard, but aside from that he seems like an average old husk, right?
Wrong.
Our suspicions increase later on when it is realized that he was in fact the final boss battle. And then once we reach the end, and sit there staring at our screens with our jaws on the floor: only then is when it becomes clear.
Marauder Shields was a hero. He was the Guardian of the Gate to Madness and Pain: he knew of the ending and knew he had to stop Shepard at all costs. I imagine this realization came to him back in Mass Effect 1: it would explain why he allowed the Reapers to implant him with Reaper tech. Of course he would be impossible to indoctrinate: the importance of his mission and what he must stop would be burning in him like a candle, keeping the darkness of the Reaper's control out of his mind. No, his mind was still his.
But no, he wasn't a bad guy. He knew he had waited three games for this moment, and had been doing all he could do to stop Shepard without flat out killing him. It was at this moment though, he realized he may not have another option. I imagine the scene from his end went down something like this:
*shoots Shepard's shoulder in cut scene*
Marauder starts forward. The renegade interrupt pops up to finish Shepard off: and yet he pauses. Perhaps there could be another way to end this, without having to murder Shepard?
- Stop, you need to understand!
- You naive fool!
- [headshot]
Unfortunately he paused for a moment too long, and Shepard struck him down. The one true hero of the game. When this realization hit me, that I murdered the one true hero in the series, is when I finally understood. All became clear. I "got" the Mass Effect ending. I have reached enlightenment.

In my mind, he was the last surviving Alliance Commando trying to stop an indoctrinated Shepard.
Marauder Shields is our silent hero, our dark knight!!

We all do. That's the greatest injustice in the game tbh.

That's a safe assumption.
Though I would gladly denounce my support for the Indoctrination theory if it meant that M. Shields was real.

The tweets are enough. I hope Jessi responds to the M shields rave tweet she got. Though the Big Ben one was hilarious.

Update: I didn't realize it - but the dude who made the Marauder shields video helped me big time with my Dark Souls videos (youtube franz). I sent him a message with all of the fan art / movie posters / tweets. :3
